I understand each air carrier may develop their own checklists but the manufacturer's checklists would likely be available, would they?
(2) Heating swithes (buttons) - yellow text [OVERHEATING]; white [OFF]
(3) Heating CHECK



Checklist AT LINEUP (BEFORE TO)
Pitot heating ..... ON
Warnings .......... NONE



Time allowed of Pitot heating on the ground .... 2 min
Time before Pitot OVERHEAT warning ... 5 min
Manufacturer data of max time of heating without external cooling ... 10 min

UPD: OVERHEAT on-ground warning is linked to LMG ground sensor
